Hana refuses to let a new halal restaurant in the neighborhood take business away from her mother's restaurant. She's also busy trying to get her own show at the radio station where she interns. When there's a hate motivated attack on her neighborhood, she realizes she must work with and accept help from someone she thought was her enemy.

Much Ado About Nada | Uzma Jalaluddin
post image
Pickpick

I loved this book! Nada wants to forge her own way and launch the app she's been working on, Ask Apa, while also staying true to her family's Muslim traditions and expectations. When her friend Haleema takes her to a Muslim conference in the hopes of finding someone for Nada who could be a suitable husband, Nada runs into Baz, who she has a long history with.

The President's Hat | Antoine Laurain

Refreshing, original, uplifting, charming. A testament to the magic of confidence! Written in 2012, but takes place in the 1980‘s, and the references to the trends and technology was a fun throwback. This was my #ReadOrDonate selection for April. Usually I donate them once I‘ve read them, but I‘m keeping this one. 🇫🇷

This was a quite enjoyable book of poetry by a poet local to me (Perth, Western Australia).

In My Blood it Runs: History. Learning. Love. Resistance | Margaret Anderson, Carol Turner, Dujuan Hoosan

Bookchain progress - I read almost all graphic novels and illustrated works for this set. With an emphasis on books with LGBTQIA+ and POC main characters. They were all good but I think my favourites were Saving Sunshine, Fence: Redemption and The Sea in You (a Little Mermaid adaptation).

I was curious to read Yardley's earlier work. This was a contemporary vanilla steamy romance between two restaurant chefs. The conflict/obstacle was mild and not particularly self-inflicted, which I always appreciate. Lots of cooking, and sex in cupboards.

Mehso-so

I probably would have bailed on this one if it wasn't my seasonal cozy pick. It seems like the story was a bit unnecessarily drawn out, and didn't have as much to do with the theme of St. Patrick's Day as I thought it would. Probably not a series I would read any more of.

Progress on my #BookChain challenge @TheAromaofBooks
I've gotten stuck once or twice but managed to get this far without backtracking. I'm not planning my reads and just enjoying the ride
#BookChain2024

TheAromaofBooks Oooo I love your layout!!! I'm the same way - I don't plan ahead, just see if the book I just finished happens to fit the prompt I'm on. 3mo
